I read this book in two days. It boils down to: hot straight men have feelings too. It won this years’s Booker Prize so obviously SJP loved it. I see why. It’s a superb look at male loneliness and emotional development.

I found my roots in Rome, my heart in Cordoba. I got lost in Munich and suffered in Kyiv, landed in New York, fell down a bottomless well in Bogota. Each city a memory and a scar

Happy Pride. We managed to find free cocktails and disco ball making 🪩 at the Maryland Center for Culture and History. Also, a wonderful exhibit that documents the queer history in Baltimore.

Happy Memorial Day to all who celebrate. I don’t usually drink hard cider, but when I do, it’s in an empty gay bar.

Oh the shenanigans
I’m required to report that today is my 48th birthday. Also, I’m really into this book right now. How Far the Light Reaches is a fascinating blend of science and memoir that explores the curious lives of deep sea creatures alongside the author’s own queer, transformative journey. I love it!
